Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a hypothetical basin receives 500 mm of precipitation, has 150 mm runoff and experiences a decrease in soil water storage of 100 mm, calculate the ET using the Water Balance Method.

💡 Hint: Watch out for the negative sign indicating an increase in soil water storage.

Question 2

Discuss how climate change might affect parameters in the Water Balance Method in your local region and predict possible impacts on agriculture.

💡 Hint: Consider how each element of the water cycle is intertwined.
